Hire a live-stream operator, anywhere.

Hire a live-stream operator for multi-camera, broadcast and hybrid events.

A live stream has no edit and no retake, so the setup has to be right and the operator has to stay calm under pressure. Live-stream operators bring the cameras, the switching, the encoders and the know-how to keep a broadcast stable. Post your brief and we rank available operators by fit, location and experience, fully costed including kit and travel.

What to include in your brief

  • The venue, the date and how long you are streaming for
  • Where it is going: YouTube, a platform of your own, or a hybrid event
  • How many camera angles and whether you need on-screen graphics
  • The internet available on site, or whether a backup connection is needed

Typical projects

  • Conferences and hybrid events
  • Concerts and performances
  • Webinars and town halls
  • Product launches
  • Places of worship and community events

How it works

  1. Post your brief. Tell us what you need and where. It takes about a minute and needs no account.
  2. Get a ranked shortlist. Our engine ranks available live-stream operators by fit, distance, budget and track record, each one fully costed including travel and our fee.
  3. Book with confidence. Send a request to your chosen live-stream operator. They accept, then you pay. A confirmed booking really is confirmed.

Questions

What internet do I need for a live stream?

A stable, dedicated upload connection matters more than raw speed. Experienced operators often bring a bonded or backup connection. Describe the venue in your brief so they can plan for it.

Can the stream be recorded as well?

Almost always. A recording of the stream, and often the clean camera feeds too, can be captured for editing afterwards. Ask for it in your brief.
